Pretty crook Ray, lot of rain this week and more to come apparently. Seems pretty widespread. Miserable.. water comes into the shed and I've swept the water out 3 times this week already. had to put everything up off floor level. It only goes part way over the floor but a nuisance. Water comes in through the weep holes when it rains heavy.

Not good John

So far so good here a bit of rising damp will spalt some timber but thats ok

Its the damp humidity thats getting in to timber causing me grief

Predicting more rain this week, Mal is trying to get down to Sydney with a load, but..... can't use the forklift, can't get to the saw mill to get a 6 metre blackbutt section off, can't load the truck, but the grass is loving it.
Dr Dan is right...... (Mal gives thanks to him for sorting the web site, anyone who contacts Mal by email knows what I am talking about, he's no 12-year old computer nerd) ........in the old days, these were the times when cut red cedar logs would be sent down the river for collection or in some cases, sent down the river and across the ocean to Hawaii as they couldn't be collected before being swept out to see.
I watched the Huon piner story and the red cedar story in NSW and Qld was similar, but bigger trees made the use of bullock trains common and sawn flitches were often processed on site to save shipping sapwood or non usable pieces.
I hope to get up soon to get some stuff for a back yard sale again.

Want some advice on drainage John?

I can drop out and have an optic if you wish.
